:) I get a real buzz out of writing parser combinators. So, perversely - if only to broaden my Haskell knowledge, I decided to try using regexs. LOL I'll see where this takes me!

Many people ask this question and are then disappointed when they can't find a definitively standard regex library to use. That's because they are barely needed. That's not to say that there are no such libraries There are. But I personally couldn't suggest any as I have not been compelled to use one in many years.

My regex is quite simple and I just need to get 2 or 3 capture groups from the result.
